The first hard day. And thanks. :)
Today was the first of the truly hard days since surgery. I've been having tummy issues since I started on soft food, so the nutritionist and surgeon suggested liquids for a week on Friday. The liquid diet was easy-peasy after surgery, but just the past few days have been hard. I still have mild acid reflux so the PPI got increased. I know it isn't real hunger and just head hunger, and so I am taking everyone's advice. The miracle is that I managed to resist ordering food at work (the old bad habit), and I'm amazed that I did it.
Without all of the support and advice from you guys the past few months I'd never have been able to be here. It's a bit frustrating, but all of the information and help people here have given it made today much easier. I feel 100x better since June 22nd, and I am so glad I had the VSG.
So thank you all very much. :)
I follow a ketogenic diet post-op. I also have a diagnosis of binge eating disorder. Feel free to ask me about either!

Great job in resisting ordering food at work. Preop, I did that all the time, too, and I know the power of that habit! Hope you stomach feels better soon!
